Totally agree with this! Its not all about treadmills, walkers and fancy gadgets. As therapists we need to be creative and ensure that rehab is deliverable regardless of budgets

You don’t NEED amazing facilities to rehab horses.

Sometimes they are just not available!

Part of the job of an Equine Rehabilitation Therapist is to be creative and work with the facilities the owner has available to them.

There is no point prescribing hill work if there are no hills around the yard. There is no point prescribing elaborate pole work sequences if there are only 3 poles available!

We have to help owners to think creatively about what they have to hand and how they can use it to help rehabilitate their horse.

Take time to understand the facilities that are available to the horse you are working with before you create their rehab plan.

Help owners to use their imagination to create rehabilitation exercises out of what they have available.

The Equine Thoracic sling forms the connection between the forelimbs and the body.

Nestled between the forelimb and the rib cage, the brachial plexus lies protected. The integrity and function of the thoracic sling is essential to the function of the entire body. Restrictions or dysfunction of this area can restrict the nerves of the brachial plexus, restrict range of motion of the forelimbs as well as the hindlimbs, and cause imbalance throughout the body.

Thank you for posting this Gillian Tabor - Equine Physio & Rehab. A greatbopen access read for anyone wishing to understand more

New paper with interesting results especially in light of the current discussions on the anatomic variations found on dissection. Bones in the spinal column, examined post-mortem often have a wide range of different 'lumps and bumps' to that expected in comparison to the text-books. However linking to pain or behaviour signs when that horse was alive is not commonly possible, or reliable even with a history. This paper explores clinical signs AND bony variation.
It is open access, so available to read without needing to pay/be registered with an academic institution: https://beva.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/evj.14127

🏅Rounding off our summer biosecurity series, EIDS offers one final essential tip. Here is Tip Number 10:

✨ Clean Water Sources ✨

🔹Provide a clean water source for your horses and avoid sharing water sources with unknown horses to prevent the spread of diseases.

🔹If you're traveling with your horse for the day make sure to take your own water and buckets, or get drinking water from a tap. Do not use water from an unknown trough.

The spinal cord dura mater sleeve, or simply the spinal sleeve, refers to a unique structure of the equine fascial system that runs along the length of the horse’s spine.
